Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
ecobee by Generac is free to download; Floravault costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ecobee by Generac holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ecobee by Generac has 224K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of ecobee by Generac's written reviews are positive against 100% of Floravault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
